Big global brands should stop their advertisements in pro-Kremlin media in the Balkans and especially in Bulgaria and Serbia - this is what a group of MEPs call for in a letter, BNR correspondent in Brussels Angelina Piskova reported, quoting "Politico". The document was signed by sixteen people, including Andrey Kovachev from the group of the European People's Party.

"Anti-democratic narratives by malicious forces are a serious threat to our democracy, especially in this crucial election year," the Bulgarian MEP told Politico.

EU officials and experts are warning of a growing wave of fake news online and attempts from abroad to influence the vote in June's European elections.

The authors of the letter are MEPs from the EPP, "Renew Europe", socialists and moderate greens.
